Jeffrey,

We make custom decals and have to remove a lot of previous decals and bumper
stickers.
I have used WD-40 and at times Goo-Gone to help dissolve the solvent.
Sometimes the vinyl part of the decal becomes brittle and you can use your
fingernail or get a plastic razor blade at an auto body shop. Just make sure
you clean the WD-40 or Goo Gone off any paint finish.

Regards,
Bill
